 Selecting Shade Trees -
The Great Eight There are several points to consider before selecting a shade tree for your yard. Following is a list of things to consider. 1. Size - Be sure to look into the full grown size of your shade tree. Will it fit well in the place you want to plant? 2. Location - You want your shade tree to do the most for you in the location you choose. You must also watch out for utilities such as power lines, under ground sewer lines etc. 3. Trees can also be planted to screen out unwanted views. 4. Color - Is the fall color important to you? Many options are available for beautiful fall color. Click here for more. |
